Help me build my tennis bracelet

From the pictures, it looks very nice. A shame they don’t have pictures to share of the bracelet draped over an arm. What is the cut quality/color/clarity of the diamonds they will be using?

These will be super ideal H&As. I’m still debating on color range. It’s most likely going to be between F/G or G/H, and VS clarity.

Sounds gorgeous! Can't wait to see your bracelet!
 
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned that I would throw out there: consider a bangle. If you plan to stack with a JUC, make sure you’re ok with a soft bracelet stacked with a bangle. The tennis will move differently than the JUC—it will slide under, over, etc. A bangle will stack next to it.

I ended up with a diamond bangle and I’m very happy with it. I can stack bangles and soft chain bracelets but it is a strange feeling sometimes and you should know whether you’re ok with it before proceeding.

I appreciate the suggestion, Tonks! You bring up a valid point, and it was also something one of the SAs at one of the vendors mentioned. I saw some bangles but at the moment I prefer to add a tennis bracelet to my collection. I like how it drapes better than a rigid bangle. To be honest, I may not be stacking it with the JUC any time soon, but I would like to versatility when I'm more open to it.

Do you have a picture of your bangle and your stack? I'd love to see how yours look!

I can't wait until I finally decide which mounting to go for. I'm still waiting on quotes to see what my possibilities are.

Do you think the last one I posted, the handmade one that's done overseas, have enough roundess to it? That's what I can't seem to figure out. I don't think that's something I can figure out unless I put it on myself or have them side by side, which is not something that's possible because both settings are offered by different vendors. But comparing to the pictures of Alybird's and my friends, theirs still look a bit rounder and maybe it's because there's a bit more spacing between each setting?

I think the roundness comes from spacing and placement or size of prongs. If I see prongs that look to be in the corners of a round - just have to picture that in your head - the round diamonds look more square. If the stones are set too close together, you get the effect of a line. It is definitely hard to choose without being able to see the bracelet in person. I have tended to gravitate to the three prong setting as those diamonds look more round to my eye. I have not had one made yet either as there are so many variables in the choosing!
 
If you are dead set on the 4 prongs then so be it, you have to wear and love it.
I prefer (just my opinion) the 3 prongs because the 4 prongs give the stones a “squareish” look. MissGotRocks and I agree on this one.

This bracelet is truly beautiful! I have a very small wrist and bangles have notoriously been too big for me. I am sure she makes them in different sizes though.

Thank you MGR! Yes, she makes them to order in whatever size you need.

I also like bangles and bracelets to have plenty of room (just resized a couple 5 motifs back UP). Different fits for all!
